You're in the Coping Season!
About The Coping Season:You love each other, but you don't have much time or energy for your relationship right now. There is currently one - or more - life events that require all of your focus. Eg. a new baby, a loss in the family, a move, a new job, a pandemic, a breakdown of trust in your relationship, etc.You have little to no time for individual self-care and you definitely don’t have time for your couple (even though you may really want time together). You may feel like you miss your partner - or a part of yourself - right now. Don’t worry! Every relationship goes through this season. Be gentle with yourself and with each other.The challenges in your relationship are your greatest opportunity for growth and deeper connection.- Allison VillaCoping Tip:Talk to each other about how you're feeling (yes - even the tough stuff!). It’s also important during this season, for each of you to ask for support from your community. You need your village. Talk to a loved one, reach out to a professional, connect with a friend for a walk...leaning on others will take the pressure off of each other as you move through this season together.
